Full job descriptionLegal Accounting opportunity!

Qualified Financial Controller / Hands on head of Finance role
for an amazing family-run law firm based across the home
counties.

£60-70k with some flexibility on both ends.

Open to profiles based in/near Oxford, Kidlington, Bicester,
Banbury, Witney, Abingdon, Newbury, Reading, Basingstoke, Henley,
Maidenhead, Aylesbury or Watford.

This is predominantly an office based with some flexibility for
hybrid working when workloads allow due to the hands on team and
partner interaction needed.

This is an outstanding opportunity to step into, up or sideways
into an all encompassing FC role where you can add value and hit
the ground running.

We would ideally like someone from the Legal Sector to bring your
career wide Legal Accounting expertise into this FC role
(Conveyancing knowledge/experience would be a big plus), however
we are also open to profiles from the wider Professional Services
sector who are willing to learn the legal accounting requirements
for this role.

Reporting to the partners you understand how important "attention
to detail" is in this role and how to create "trust" in the
numbers, data and commentary you produce.

You will have the autonomy to drive process efficiency and
deliver workflow improvements to provide timely and trusted data
and solutions to the Partners and teams.

You will be a natural problem solver and proactively remove
"bottlenecks" to resolve questions/queries or requests for
financial data/information every time/first time in a fast and
efficient way.

In addition you will be a natural leader, someone who will
empower your team to use their initiative, to learn and to
develop their skills and ability. You will be a natural
communicator who is able to coach others in a way that enables
them to thrive.

You will thrive in a business where you can bring existing
knowledge and expertise to own financial control across the
practice, including acting as COFA under the SRA Accounts Rules.

Ideal background:

* Qualified Accountant (ACA / ACCA / CIMA etc)
* Financial control experience within a legal practice
* Working knowledge of SRA Accounts Rules — comfortable as COFA
* Confident across management accounts, statutory accounts, tax,
VAT and payroll
